trust me, bro:

here is the receipt.

the claim

Bicycles remain stable at high speeds primarily due to gyroscopic effects and trail geometry

the verdict

REFUTED

the evidence says no

confidence 19/100

Scientific consensus and modern biomechanical analyses refute the long-held belief that gyroscopic effects are the primary driver of bicycle stability, demonstrating instead that trail geometry and weight distribution are the key factors.
